Defective Vehicle Accident Claims

Reno Accident Attorneys

Defective vehicle accident claims fall under product liability law. When a defective vehicle is the cause of an accident it can appear that the driver was at fault. Some types of defects do not cause accident, but cause the injuries to be worse in the event of an accident. The Reno accident attorneys of Jolley Urga Woodbury & Little are ready to start helping you and your family with your auto accident claim today.

Why You Need an Attorney

Although we hear about massive auto recalls in the news, the majority of defective vehicles are not recalled. Defects are uncovered by thorough investigation. A defect can make it appear as if you were to blame for your accident, and you need the help of experienced accident attorneys to prove that you were not to blame and that the auto maker, or someone else along the supply chain, is responsible for your accident or injuries.

Even if you are not being blamed, you need to know who to hold responsible and to pursue every avenue of compensation in order to collect the maximum amount available.

Defective vehicle accident lawsuits involve powerful opponents. Our Reno auto accident attorneys are not afraid to stand up to the large corporations and their teams of attorneys, all the way through jury trial and appeals if necessary in order to collect for you and your family.

Motor Vehicle Defects

Examples of defects which can cause accidents or contribute to the seriousness of injuries include:

  • Faulty ignition
